Drone exam · Ground-risk mitigation

A park route is legally possible when the area is quiet, but children begin playing near the recovery area. What should the pilot consider beyond simple distance?

Answer

Consider their unpredictable movement, limited awareness of the operation, and the possibility that they may enter the route or landing area quickly. Increase separation, relocate, or pause if reliable control cannot be maintained.

Explanation

Ground risk mitigation must reflect how people actually move, not only a static map distance.
